I found myself a float in absolute pitch blackness, upright and on my feet, and being unable to see anything but the faint outline of what looked like flat floating stones, on which I was standing. Then, I saw a stone just a steps distance in front of me. I could not see what they were made of. So I reluctantly reached out in the darkness, for some point of reference for my mind to grasp on to. Then, I felt fear welling up in me, and as I did, the stones begin to fade away beneath me. And I felt my soul falling, deeper and deeper into the darkness.

Willing to bring clarity, and focus on the issue at hand, with amazing precision and grace, but simplistic, always ready to take the lead and not just “a spectator.” Someone who would take the time to stop, and reflect, with a tremendous passion for life, people, everyone they acted and reacted with throughout the day to day experience. All who inner acted with them would respond with admiration and a pleasant experience to keep and call their own.

Someone who would always rise, and rise again and again to face whatever came. Never beaten by any of past memories or situations, but who operates at a higher frequency then most, more than most honestly. They always there to extend a hand to help any and all who needed it, without hesitation or recompense but always in a spirit of giving. And this quality of character has been the standard by which this person lives life every day without fail.
